The classic mode putsMiriamonce again into the castle where she must confrontGebeland survive five stages and five sub-bosses. Along with her main weapon, players can choose a special, limited-use ability to use throughout this mode, but you can only have one at a time. Picking up a new ability will get rid of the old one.

You can face classic mode with three difficulty modes and can use Miriam’s special moves slide, backstep and backflip. To access Classic Mode you will need to choose “Extra Mode” from the main menu.

Bloodstained Ritual of the Night - Kingdom Crossover

Artplay last year had teamed up with developer Raw Fury, adding characters from ROTN to Kingdom: Two Crowns. Now the crossover continues in Bloodstained, adding a brand new area, inspired by Kingdom with a pixel aesthetic.

The new area is home to a new boss which once defeated will grant a new Archer Familiar Shard. This familiar will follow you throughout your adventures, plus attack enemies from a distance. Levelling up the shard will gain you more powerful attacks.

In order to access the Kingdom Crossover, you will have needed to defeatBathinin your current save, or load an old save where you have previously overcome him. Then you will need to locate the Crown of Creation before being able to discover the hidden area (not shown on the map).

The Crown of Creation is needed to be equipped in your head slot, and will lead you to the Kingdom Crossover area. Another handy thing about the Crown of the Creation is that will reduce damage, but that is offset at the cost of the gold when worn.
